F3's story isn't getting the credit it's due if you ask me. The main story is hardly the only story element in the game. They gave the entire DC area a story, including minor locations and minor side quests. Even the main storyline is solid and gives choices on how to conclude the story and who to side with (or just do nothing at all).
Just from the top of my head, there's extensive background stories for at least 4 vaults, over two dozen locations, expanded stories for multiple established factions like the BoS and the Enclave. Not to mention the super tiny slithers of information about the Fallout universe that can be found in dozens of locations detailing history and such.
As far as I'm concerned the writers did a pretty good job, even if they did take some inspiration from the first two games for the main story. I really don't get where all this hate is coming from.
